Year Abroad: French

The following information is aimed at helping students to choose the university in France, Belgium or Senegal that will most benefit their future learning and career and seeks to provide up-to-date information on courses and how to find accommodation. However, it is worth remembering that, whereas the contacts provided here have been found useful by previous students, there are many more options you could explore, since the responsibility of finding accommodation is yours. Courses taught in French-speaking universities linked with Portsmouth vary from year to year. For further details on courses offered, please read on.

Take the trouble to check the websites of the universities you are interested in before taking a decision about where to go on your Year Abroad. Part of the excitement and value of the Year Abroad is in acquiring skills like negotiating in a foreign language and using your initiative.
